What drives me is not the most aesthetic or shocking moment — it is what happens beyond it. The emotion, the context, the human effort behind each reality.
Over the years I have developed projects on drag culture, medical emergency, humanitarian work, pandemic confinement and shamanic rituals in Nepal. A close-up perspective, built with time and trust.

In Vietnam, on a beach in Ha Long Bay, I watched entire families experiencing a moment — through a screen. The more I observed, the more one simple thing unsettled me: nobody seemed to really be there. I went to photograph.
